Read on Twitter
just FYI: i think the next chapter of sugar husband au is going to be delayed. i am just not in the right mental space to write/edit, in light of everything going on here and in my real life, and i think it's best if i take that pressure off myself.
super sorry

i'm not sure how long it'll be, so i don't want to make any promises. i'm also feeling a bit overwhelmed with everything and may take a bit of a twitter break, if i can keep myself off of here.
for everyone out here fighting the good fight, i see and appreciate you.

i also want to say, that we're all responsible for addressing our own internal biases regarding members of other marginalized communities, even if we are members of other marginalized communities, ourselves.
i'm maybe not the best person to say this, or the most eloquent. but the private conversations i've had with reylos of different marginalized groups where they've stated that they feel unsafe here scare me.
fandom is supposed to be an escape for everyone. it shouldn't be a place for racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, islamophobia, anti-feminism, or any other kind of xenophobia.
people shouldn't feel silenced.

it really scared me to see the names of some of the people silencing others as people that i've interacted with and was somewhat friendly with.
i wonder if you met me in real life, if you knew what i looked like, where i was born, would you still be here supporting my fics?

i'm really new to this fandom, but i loved being here because i felt safe and accepted. i hate that other people have not.
lastly, i have not ONCE seen a woman of my cultural background represented positively/accurately in Western media/literature.

it's gotten to the point that i'm relieved when i don't see a diversity attempt, because at least it means i'm not being misrepresented.
please remember this when you put BIPOC and/or Jewish characters in your stories. if you're making us villains, you're NOT representing us.

i'll shut up now, but i hope someone out there reads this thread and gets something out of it.
my page/fics are a safe space for everyone.
unless you're xenophobic in any way.
